Audric Estime: Undervalued Running Back Prospect?

Despite his impressive production and well-rounded skillset at Notre Dame, Audric Estime finds himself outside the top five running back rankings due to concerns over his 40-yard dash speed. However, his 10-yard split, which measures initial burst, suggests he may be faster than his 40-yard time indicates. Estime’s strengths lie in his size, vision, and ability to run through contact. While his breakaway run rate is not exceptional, he has shown the ability to generate big plays through his strength and power. Analysts may be overrating the importance of the 40-yard dash in evaluating running back prospects, and Estime could prove to be a valuable asset for fantasy football teams who can overlook his disappointing 40-yard time.
